Custom Foot Orthotics

Even if you don’t spend all day on your feet, pain, discomfort, and/or structural imbalances felt there can have knock-on effects all the way up to your spine. Even if the origin of the problem lies elsewhere (e.g., one leg is longer than the other), Custom Foot Orthotics can help get your moving parts back in alignment, restoring uniformity to your stride and encouraging better posture.

These devices can be used to treat acute or chronic muscle or ligament injuries in the foot or leg; improve foot or ankle function; correct foot or ankle deformities; reduce pain and discomfort in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, or back; and help lower the risk of further injuries.

Custom Foot Orthotics are very different from the usual “one-size-fits-all” shoe inserts available at sports retailers, grocery stores, and over the counter at pharmacies. Instead, devices like those provided by Tonume are highly customised according to the findings of a detailed assessment that considers everything from foot size and shape to the patient’s weight and lifestyle. Each insert is designed and constructed to provide the right level of support to each foot by redistributing ground reaction forces so as to effect change in posture, relieve pain, and correct dysfunction in your joints.

Orthotic services at Tonume Integrated Health are provided by our Chiropractors, all of whom are trained in the necessary assessment, diagnosis, and treatment techniques.
